Hi all!
My company is kinda forcing me to ditch my perfectly working android 12 phone (S10e) due to not supporting passkeys (so MS authenticator will refuse to let you pass that step).
Of course they’ll finance the purchase of a new device (up to a point). I’m interested in having a small phone that could have an intune work profile either in Grapheneos (unlikely), or LineageOS.
What would you suggest?
Edit - sorry I’m realizing the way i phrased this might meant it would NEED to have lineage or gos support. While this is something I’d really appreciate, my S10e has been running all this time without any of that, and what i really appreciate/need is a small phone of similar size. Any extras are welcome.
I have a Fairphone 6 with CalyxOS. It is literally the largest phone I have ever had. Definitely not a small phone… Very happy with the phone except for its large size. It literally doesn’t fit into my bike phone holder or almost any I can find online. Other than that, great phone with built in work profile, unlockable and relockable bootloader, etc… Switch is handy too for vibrate switch (it has a variety of options for functions) like the old iphones.
The only recent phone that is a similar form factor as the S10e is the Sony Xperia 10 VI from 2024 (and I guess Oukitel minis but I don’t think you can get those) maybe the 10VIII that is one full centimeter taller. 168g vs 150g (S10e). The fairphone is 193g, almost 30% heavier that your current phone.
Pixel 10a might be a compromise in between the Sony 10VIII and the fairphone and runs GrapheneOS or calyxOS.
